Juma Tutu will perform at the launch of the new Swahili TV station 'QTV' on Wednesday April 11, 2012 at the Carnivore Grounds in Nairobi.

QTV is owned by the Nation Media Group (NMG) and will be NMG's second television station in Kenya, but Kenya's first all-Kiswahili television station.The glamourous launch will take place at the outdoor grounds of the Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi, where Nation Media Group will host its valued advertisers and other stakeholders. The welcome area of the event will feature a lively market place with hawkers, food sellers and a matatu, a slice of life of QTV's target audience.

Next to Juma Tutu's performance, the guests will be treated to coastal music and local theatre depicting QTV's key program pillars including Tanzanian and Naija movies and Kung Fu action films. Qtv would be a new launch pad for Kenyan artistes to produce programmes meant for an African audience. The launch will see the first bulletin transmitted live from the Carnivore Grounds giving the guests an opportunity to be part of the news.
